Mark Biddle

“In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ”
― John Bunyan

“The praying which makes a prayerful ministry is not a little praying put in as we put flavor to give it a pleasant smack, but the praying must be in the body, and form the blood and bones. Prayer is no petty duty, put into a corner; no piecemeal performance made out of the fragments of time which have been snatched from business and other engagements of life; but it means that the best of our time, the heart of our time and strength must be given.”
― E.M. Bounds, Power Through Prayer

“If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon

“Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.”
― Martin Luther
